Home Farm cottage was an excellent property for a large multi generational family group with furry friends. The owner met us on arrival and gave us a detailed tour of the property, and told us everything we needed to know. The property was very well equipped, particularly in the kitchen where there was anything you could need to make a meal. The garden was extremely secure with plenty of green space for the dogs to run around. The driveway for the property provides ample parking for four cars. The property backs onto the main road the A49, so is very good for connections to surrounding attractions such as Shrewsbury. This does mean however there is a high level of road noise both day and night which may not be ideal for light sleepers. The village of Dorrington is full of amenities including a shop, pub, restaurants, play park and lots of dog walks.

Had a really lovely stay with our extended family. Great area with so much to see, kids really enjoyed the table tennis and dog loved the garden! Very comfortable house with plenty of space for everyone, and the large dining table (and conservatory!) was great for meals and card games. Kitchen had everything we needed and more! A home-from-home, would highly recommend this house.
